My kids are the weirdest mix of determined and utter wuss. I've got one who stubbornly turns up even when he's so sick he clearly can't concentrate on the material, and another who skipped the midterm because (and I quote) "I had a headache." I don't know what to make of these weird children anymore.

What Was This?

College Misery was a dysfunctional group blog where professors got the chance to release some of the frustration that built up while tending to student snowflakes, helicopter parents, money mad Deans, envious colleagues, and churlish chairpeople.

Our parent site, Rate Your Students, started in 2005, and we continued that mission beginning in 2010. Ben at Academic Water Torture and Kimmie at The Apoplectic Mizery Maker both ran support blogs during periods when this blog had died.
